Joy 4/06/22


 On Wednesday i do my volunteer work at the Feast Food Pantry. I work outside there delivering food and other necessities to our customers cars. We serve a large number of families in need in our area. This week I was a little sad when I got there because the amount of food we had to offer was lower than I had seen. Not as many donations lately and the cost of food reduced the amount of food we were able to buy. There is a food drive coming up that I hope will replenish some of our stocks. A bright spot happened last week when about 45 minutes before closing a generous lady brought to us a donation of a trunk load of fresh vegetables which are always welcome. 

If you are able there are many ways to help hunger risk people in our communities. 

  • Money or gift card are always welcome at food banks. 
  • Bring in non-perishable food to the food bank or food drive.
  • Donate using the Feast Amazon link.
We are grateful for any donation large or small.

Radiation Therapy

After I'm on the table my feet and legs are aligned using a hard pillow that is molded to my legs and feet. Then the table is moved into position and the technicians adjust me using lasers and my aiming tattoos.  The techs then leave the room and the machines take over. First two arm move into position to x-ray me to determine the position of my prostate. The table will make slight adjustments itself to move me into the best position. A...

Trip to Evansville In.

  For the past week or so Jan and I have been visiting her dad and sister in Evansville In. Or as Art calls it Heavinsville. We came up originally to help Mary with her house. She is painting and carpeting several rooms. Because of Covid Jan's dad Art has moved from his apartment into Mary's house. We came down to help Art while he stayed with us at a hotel and the house got recarpeted.  Well that all went sideways first day at the hotel. Art who is 96 started feeling poorly and eventually it was decided to call an ambulance to transport him to the emergency room for, as my daughter calls it a little heart tune-up. It was quite an adventure having a firetruck and ambulance arrive at our hotel and all crowd into our room.  At the hospital because of Covid only one other person was allowed in and it was decided that Jan would stay and I would head back to Mary's house. Now a funny story of events before the ambulance arrived. I had gone to take a rest in our hotel room whil...
